LED amber flashing - CMM servos are engaged but REVO head in damped mode.
When REVO or PH20 are fitted, operating the engage switch to disengage the drives puts the REVO
or PH20 into heavily damped mode where it will slowly droop due to gravity. The CMM axes will
disengage as normal..
Program
button
(MCU1
and
MCU5
only)
This button can be used to request the application software to start or stop a DCC program by a
system integrator. The button only gives an event to the application software and is not a state button.
If the button is used to start a program (enter auto mode), the LCD screen will display ‘AUTO’, the
speed, the controller status and an optional text line from the OEM whilst the program is running.
If the button is used to stop a program (enter manual mode) the MCU returns to the previous mode
selected before going into DCC. The LCD screen will then display the normal features for that mode.
Modes
of
operation
(MCU1
and
MCU5
only)
There are six possible MCU operational modes in addition to the DCC auto mode.
Pressing the ‘MODE’ button on the MCU keypad changes the MCU operational mode, the current
mode is indicated in the top left of the LCD.
NOTE:
It is the system integrator’s responsibility to ensure adequate precautions are taken if
this switch is utilised. If it is considered dangerous for the operator to be in the machine working
volume when the DCC program is started, then a second confirmation switch operation is
required (possibly one of the function switches) or this switch should not be enabled at all.
NOTE:
The modes available to the user of the MCU are configurable. If the mode is not
required it can be switched off.
CMM
manual
mode
Default on start-up.
In manual mode the LCD display will show the tip position of the stylus in the current part co-ordinate
system, in either metric or imperial measurements.
